Forty Arab students violently attacked 15 Jewish students campaigning for the liberation of Israeli prisoners of war in Syria in the main hall of the Cite Universitaire of Brussels University. The Arab students, who jumped on the Jewish students in front of the campaign stand, were so violent they dragged the Jewish students outside of the Cite grounds. Several of the Jewish students suffered slight injuries and bruises and their campaign stand was completely demolished by the Arabs.
